Individuals are going to recollect the occasion that they’re right here for, however they’re not going to recollect all of it. They may really feel like they received a speaker and a few ideas and tips.

At commerce reveals, expos, or instructional occasions, there may be a speaker presenting nice materials, however as one of many a whole lot of individuals within the room, it may be arduous to have interaction with them. With a number of tracks taking place concurrently, conversing with the speaker afterward could be practically unattainable. –Loren Baker, 7:23
